Teaching in Seoul, South Korea

Teaching in Seoul, South Korea can be rewarding froma cultural point of view, financial worthwhile if you get into a reasonable school and Korea and other parts of Asia are excellent for travelling and experiening. If you are open-minded and courteous, you will almost definately have a positive and enjoyable experience while living in Seoul and you will find that most Korean people you meet are very friendly, at least that was my experience.

There are several resources for trying to find a TEFL job in South Korea:

Teaching English in KoreaWhat city or town to teach in, in Korea, really depends on what you are looking for. If you want to live where there is plenty goign on and lots of opportunities and chances to meet other Westerners, then Seoul is perfect.

Hi there, I would like to notify all South African Citizens especially women who might consider teaching in Gyeongju City, Gyeongbuk at a school by the name of The Foreign Global Language Institute, PLEASE DO NOT ACCEPT A TEACHING POST HERE. I was selected to teach here and experienced nothing but victimisation, I was in this city for 3weeks posted at this school, was not allowed to teach, my contract given by the school was dishonoured and I had to pay all costs to the school before being forced to come back to South Africa. I am now placed in a devastating financial situation due to this situation, apart from the mental and emotional anguish and abuse I was subjected to. My advice is to please not accept any teaching post at this private school.
Thank You, Miss R.Hoosen
